    Thank you so much for sharing your story and your research!! I have heard of these signs throughout schooling, but it is extremely helpful to learn from people who are unfortunately experiencing some of these signs first hand. Your level of explanation is something others simply cannot teach if they haven't ever experienced it. I wish you the best, Spencer!

    I,was convinced that I had MS, and had a suspicious lesion in my MRI. But it turned out to be Systemic Lupus, with poly neuropathy in my feet which causes foot drop on one side, as well as balance issues causing falls. I,also,have osteoporosis fractures, T5in my spine and ribs from doing up,my shoes, caused by Cortisone for the Lupus. My best wishes to you. I have to have my son as my carer, not the life I want for him, but I couldn’t live alone otherwise. I just get frustrated having to use a stick. My saving grace is my garden, I find peace in my soul there. ❤️
  • Yes, my son has lessions on his neck and brain. He lost vision in 1 eye then woke up with numbness down his waist. Now, hes having numbness in his leg. He also can't stand the heat at all. He was diagnosed by a neurologist a year ago. Believe me you don't want this horrible disease.

    Thank you for making this video. Also it kicks ass that you're willing to say, "that sucks!" I feel like so many people aren't willing to admit that symptoms can be awful & it kinda makes me feel like I'm just a negative person or whatever. I don't really mind but it feels isolating.🥺
  • Thank you for this detailed information. P.S. Your dogs are wonderfully happy❤️🤗❤️
  • Thank you for sharing. Any help and advice is so greatly appreciated.

    Thanks it's helpful to know other people are going through the same things, makes me feel less weird.

    Thank you so much. Back to neurologist next month, no official dx. I was paying attention but it was nice to watch your dogs dig and run around. Good luck to all.
  • My beautiful 53 year old sister who had MS for 40 years, died shortly after the second Covid injection that was forced upon her in the nursing home she lived in. She was bright, smart and an incredibly determined. She suffered tremendously throughout her life but carried on with strength and tenacity.
  • TO HELP PRONOUNCE L´Hermitte´s Sign: The H is silent and the L runs together with the "er." So try saying "Lur-MEAT's" sign running the syllables together. Hope that helps.🥰
  • I have noticed many times that my foot will just bounce up and down if I'm sitting on the potty a certain way and have my foot in a flexed position, it's so bad and irritating I have to change positions (my toilet sits really high lol😂), as soon as I move my foot it stops, it never hurts when it's bouncing, I always thought it was just a reflex because of how I was sitting. Thanks so much, will definitely mention this to my neurologist. I was diagnosed with MS 8 years ago but they changed the diagnoses to Lupus and I have been in constant hell for 8 years because no meds were working. I had the worst attack/flare up about 3 weeks ago and I have nene felt so much pain in my Entire life, I had so many symptoms on a level 30 from scale 1-10. This turned out to be a 1 of the biggest blessings of my life because now I know what's wrong and they are going to be starting meds/treatments for MS and I pray that I get some life back. I turn 50 in May and I'm Literally watching my life go by, I have 2 grandchildren and 2 children of my own that are young adults and I'm missing everything. I have learned to never take anything for granted and that you can't sweat the small things and just live each day as if it's your last. Prayers to you and everyone else fighting awful auto immune diseases. 🙏
